Best of luck Henn.

Its been a while since I've seen you, but Swinderby and Linton hold some of my fondest memories, particularly the latter.

Who could forget that orange MG Midget, first solos at Church Fenton, ALT in Benidorm (!), being hung from a tree by your boots and hosed down by the fire section (ooh-err), R&R in Cyprus, and the wonderful city of York, to mention just a few.

Take care Down Under; there are lots of beasties with big fangs and nasty stings, and that's just the sheilas!

That reminds me!
 
Ah Hennster,
All the very best to you and yours wherever you're heading haven't seen you for ages since passing through ABQ I think but I never got back before you left.....I do remember our first day at Swinderby though (well your first first day of two) watching some poor sod on the course ahead of us trying to land the chippy pre solo and ground looping it every time till they chopped him ("The Grim Reaper" was in with him if my memory serves) while all other studes and us, as the FNGs, judged his approaches with reference to the guaging tree . Also a few (not many cos i was trying to live out in Newark, and race 64 year old bike rider to work each day) nights in the bar with Ralf and Reggie, the snuff cannon and far too much G+T>
The good times food back so much more readily than the rest. Hope to see you again some day ....Fly Safe wherever you are mate.:ok:

Good luck Ian. We met up at MSH and you almost joined us in the land of the 'actual', as opposed to simulated, snow!!!

Don't forget to look Jimbo up!

Seasons greetings.

Hi IVH

We lost touch a bit there! I guess you are off to join some other AF. Good to hear you are alive and kicking. Have a great time. Love Mrs H and the sproggs (from JT too). Drop us a line when you get settled.
